Module otel 

OpenTelemetry integration for distributed tracing

This module provides OpenTelemetry support with OTLP export for distributed tracing. It implements W3C Trace Context propagation (traceparent/tracestate headers).

Features

• W3C Trace Context header propagation
• OTLP export to Jaeger, Tempo, or any OTLP-compatible backend
• Configurable sampling rates
• Request lifecycle spans with semantic conventions

Configuration

observability {
    tracing {
        backend "otlp" {
            endpoint "http://localhost:4317"
        }
        sampling-rate 0.1  // 10% of requests
        service-name "sentinel"
    }
}
